Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp are “Two Ts in a Pod” once again!
Judge, 57, reunited with her longtime podcast cohost on Wednesday, March 12, and documented the reunion via X.
“Back with my Teddi Jo, and suddenly, everything makes sense again. ❤️,” she captioned a photo of her and Mellencamp, 43, who is pictured rocking a short buzzcut after recently undergoing surgery for multiple brain tumors.
Judge herself has been in the headlines this week after hinting that she had quit The Real Housewives of Orange County while filming a cast trip in New Orleans over the weekend.
Judge shared in an Instagram Story late Sunday, March 9: “It was a long run! When life gives you real problems this reality s— doesn’t make sense. Peace out … I’m out.” Later, in response to an Instagram comment asking if she was quitting the show, Judge responded, “Yes!!!”
Judge addressed her RHOC future on the Wednesday, March 12, episode of the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast, which featured The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Dolores Catania as a guest cohost filling in for Mellencamp amid her recovery.
“I think I just hit a wall. There’s so much going on in my life and it’s just I don’t know,” Judge reflected while admitting that she’s been going to therapy as she is struggling with some “personal things.”
She continued: “I just hit a wall and I feel like I’m gonna be in a full depressed mode.”
Andy Cohen is playing coy about Tamra Judge’s future on The Real Housewives of Orange County. “I got the report of what happened last night,” Cohen, 56, said on the Monday, March 10, episode of SiriusXM’s Radio Andy. “All I will say is this. I can’t comment on what’s going on while we’re filming shows.” […]
Judge explained that this year has not been off to a good start for her recently and she can’t get out of the funk she’s been in despite seeking professional help.
“I’m just so mad at myself because I feel like I just can’t pull myself out of the funk. Well, I’m usually pretty good [at] just pulling myself out, and I’ve been saying it for a while now,” she said. “I just can’t pull myself out of this. I can’t pull myself out of this. And it was just 2025 has been a real doozy. It’s just been one thing after another.”
Judge shared that she went into filming this season of RHOC amid her personal struggles. However, it all got to be too much for her.
“I went into the season not knowing, not sure, very anxious and just dealing with some stuff through therapy, and you know that really breaks you down to your lowest point,” she admitted. “I’m like, ‘Should I just quit? Because it’s just I feel like it’s breaking me down.’”
Judge added that Mellencamp’s health issues have also taken a heavy toll on her. However, her podcast cohost has still been by her side through this rough patch.
“Teddi gave me a pep talk and that is like the first time I’ve laughed in so long. Like, we laughed, and she just yelled at me and said, ‘Listen to me, I have to be bald and fat right now and going through this. You get your ass back over there,’” she recalled. “I just started laughing. So I think I’m going to see her today. I think that’s gonna pull little bit of spark back into me.”
Mellencamp announced in February that she was undergoing surgery to have multiple tumors in her brain removed. Earlier this month, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member said that doctors had found five more tumors — three in her brain and two in her lungs.
